This is how all the truly successful diets work, from the National Dietetics Association to Richard Simmons to Weight Watchers, and so on. They encourage healthy between meal snacks and getting enough water and liquids, which limits cravings for more addictive foods so regular meal choices also are healthier.

This is news? It's pretty obvious. Think of your metabolism a fire, put too much wood on it at one and the fire goes down or slowly add log after log and you can get a great fire going. Same type of idea as it is harder to break down large amounts of food, rather that smaller pieces.
